George Strait - Murder On Music Row
D A E A
Intro | | | | ||
Verse 1
A A7 D
Nobody saw them running from sixteenth Avenue
A E
They never found the fingerprints or the weapon that was used
A A7 D
But someone killed country music cut out its heart and soul
A E A
They got away with murder down on music row
A A7 D
The almight dollar and the lust for worldwide fame
A E
Slowly killed tradition and for that, someone should hang
A A7 D
They all say "Not Guilty!" but the evidence will show
A E A
That murder was committed down on music row
Chorus
D A
For the steel guitars no longer cry and the fiddles barely play
B7 E E7
But drums and rock 'n' roll guitars are mixed up in your face
A A7 D
Ol' Hank wouldn't have a chance on today's radio
A E A
Since they committed murder down on music row
D A E A
Interlude | | | | ||
Verse 2
A A7 D
They thought no one would miss it once it was dead and gone
A E
They said no one would buy them ol' drinkin' and cheatin' songs
A A7 D
Well there ain't no justice in it and the hard facts are cold
A E A
Murder's been committed down on music row
Chorus
D A
For the steel guitars no longer cry and you can't hear fiddles play
B7 E E7
With drums and rock 'n' roll guitars mixed right up in your face
A A7 D
Why, the Hag, he wouldn't have a chance on today's radio
A E A
Since they committed murder down on music row
A A7 D
Why they'd even tell the Possum to pack up and go back home
A E A A E A
There's been an awful murder down on music row
